Shanom (born Luis Antonio Vázquez) is a Puerto Rican personality who reached the height of his popularity between the mid-1980s and 2000s. Shanom is best known for his musical parodies, comedy stunts and his political satire. Shanom had the second longest-running morning show in the island of Puerto Rico up to 2004 and has received countless distinctions for his radio work as well as his charitable work for the handicapped. Luis's stage name was "created" by another famous radio personality; José Vallenilla a.k.a.

Influenced by Jose Vallenilla AKA; Funky Joe, he produced some of the first-ever "reggaeton" albums, a Puerto Rican insular genre that became known worldwide as an Urban Genre, but this remained underground at the time. He focused mainly on radio parodies for which he was becoming an icon in his market. It was through his radio show that the first ever commercially produced "Latin Rap" album was released when "Prime Records" a local company signed a young artist known as Vico C and it was picked up by a Spanish international Record Company.
